This weekend: Tour de Fat, tours of sewers & bakeries and WTF Night

From the good folks at the Bike Kitchen comes WTF Night, which is open to all women, transfolks, genderqueer folk, femmes, and other people who’ve had gender bias, homophobia, or transphobia keep them away from hands-on bicycle repair. Check out the Bike Kitchen blog and their Facebook page.

Live music, cool D-I-Y customized bike-machines, beers and more will be found at this annual brewski-fueled bicycle jamboree. Note the new location this year: Lindley Meadows. If you head west on JFK Drive, just go past Speedway Meadow and Lindley is the next one on the left.

SF Bicycle Coalition Rec Ride: History of SF Sewers

Embark on a SF Bicycle Coalition member-led biking tour of the history of San Francisco’s sewer system (without getting your feet wet) as designed in 1899 by C.E. Grunsky. Local historians and storm water enthusiasts will take you back through sewer history to look at how we got up this creek and where there might be paddles. Focus on the Mission District and Mission Creek. SF Bicycle Coalition recreational rides are free for SFBC members (a $5 donation from non-members is appreciated); rain cancels rides. Questions? Email sdanzante2@aol.com

Want a sneak peak? Join the leaders for a 7pm Wed. Sept. 22 lecture at Workspace Ltd, 2150 Folsom between 17th and 18th.

Everyone loves a toothsome sourdough and a fluffy cupcake but surely you had enough of those; Bay Area bakeries have so much more to offer! This two-wheeled tour highlights some of San Francisco’s specialty and ethnic bakeries, in a celebration of a whole world of leavened offerings. Expect to haul yourself up and down some hills and to cover about 10 miles. Bring cash for purchases.
